Removal Note
Clutch release cylinder

CAUTION: Bending the clutch pipe can cause kinks or cracks.

1. Remove the bolts and clips shown.
2. Put the clutch release cylinder and the clutch pipe in a place where they will not interfere with transaxle removal.




Tie rod end

CAUTION: The sharp edges of the SST can slice the tie rod end dust boot. Install the SST so that the sharp edges are between the dust boot and the knuckle.

1. Remove the cotter pin.
2. Loosen the nut until it is flush with the end of the ball stud.
3. Disconnect the tie rod end from the knuckle by using the SST.

Drive shafts




1. Remove the clips.
2. Remove the ABS wheel speed sensor harness mounting nuts.




3. Remove the clinch bolt and nut.




4. Wrap a rag around the ball joint dust boot.
5. Pry the lower arm out of the knuckle.

CAUTION: The sharp edges of the drive shaft snap ring can slice or puncture the oil seal. Be careful when removing the drive shaft from the transaxle.




6. Separate the left-side drive shaft from the transaxle by prying with a bar inserted between the outer ring and the transaxle as shown in the image.
7. Suspend the drive shaft with a rope.




8. Install the SST into the transaxle to hold the side gears.




9. Separate the drive shaft from the joint shaft by using a copper bar and hammer.




Engine mount member
1. Support the engine by using the SST.
2. Remove the engine mount member.

Transaxle




1. Loosen the SST (engine support) and lean the engine toward the transaxle.
2. Support the transaxle on a jack.
